After a 14 year break, Mike Judge’s hand-drawn teen-dorks return to MTV this October.

They’re just the same as before.

Good.

A surreal, technically impressive short film created with 3D Studio Max software by Makerbot collaborator/animator Jonathan Monaghan (no relation to Karl).

There’s nothing to learn here, except that decapitated lions go to Heaven. Or something.

One day, Diego Stocco decided to play the tree in his back yard:

To tune the tree I picked a fundamental note and tuned the twigs by trimming them with a pencil sharpener. I used two Røde NT6 and a NTG-2 as microphones, combined with a customized stethoscope.

I recorded the tracks live on a Pro Tools LE system. I didn’t use any synthesizer or sampler to create or modify the sounds. All the sounds come from playing the tree, by bowing the twigs, shaking the leaves, playing rhythms on the cortex and so on.

And now, here he is playing a bonsai tree.

Just released in Japan, the ‘Oppopet’ (‘oppo pet’) wireless computer mouse, produced by elecom in collaboration with Tokyo-based designer Oki Sato – has a USB receiver shaped like an animal tail, making the device appear like a small pet.

Yes. The word you’re looking for is ‘buttplug’.
